Abstract

Cutting tools, which are used extensively in machining, are expected to have high performance and longer service life. Tool life term defines the time period between the starting of the cutting tool and the sharpening of the tool so that the tool is actively used. According to international standards, tool deterioration by wear is a specific criterion used to determine tool life. In this study, the effects of cutting parameters on the cutting performance and tool life of standard end mills with diameters Ø6, Ø8, Ø10, Ø12 which are used extensively in the die-making industry, were investigated. Detection of cutting-edge wear conditions was achieved by conducting detailed surface observations with a high-resolution camera of a three-dimensional (3D) digital microscope
